When the user opens the application, they are presented with a login
screen:<br>

<br>

The background of the login screen as well as the department logo is
configured by the administrator

The nofifications window on the right informs them of any deadlines or
other useful information<br>

After logging in, the user is presented with an interface customized
just for them.<br>

<br>

The <a href="sample_ui/instructor_welcome.html">Instructor Welcome
Screen</a> gives the user a view with
options to (a) view the current schedule or past schedules and (b) edit
their preferences to supply the scheduler
with constraints to feed to the scheduling algorithm.<br>

<br>

The <a href="sample_ui/administrator_welcome.html">Administrator
(Scheduler) Welcome Screen</a> gives the user
a similar layout as the instructor, but with all the features available
to generate, edit, and publish schedules.
